PREFACE 

This  list  was  begun  as  an  expansion  of  Miss  Mary 
Medlicott's  Abbreviations  in  Book  Catalogues  which 
was  issued  in  1906  by  the  Boston  Bo(jk  C\)nipan\-  as 
Bulletin  of  Bibliography,  pani|)hlet  Xo.  15.  It  has 
so  far  outgrown  the  limits  of  the  original  li>i  as  to 
have  become  a  quite  independent  production.  Spe- 
cial thanks,  however,  for  the  original  plan  and  for  nuich 
of  the  subject  matter  of  the  present  list  are  (hu-  to 
Miss  Medlicott's  list  and  to  a  manuscript  List  of  bibli- 
ographical terms  and  abbreviations  comjiiled  in  190O, 
under  the  direction  of  Mr.  E.  C.  Williams,  by  Miss 
Eliza  Townsend  for  the  use  of  the  Western  k<,>er\e 
Library'  School. 

OriginalitN'  can  hardh'  be  claimi-d  for  an\-  work  so 
obviousK-  dependent  on  prexious  similar  attempts  nor, 
although  longer  than  most  jirexious  attempts,  can  any 
claim  to  more  than  approximate  completeness  be  made 
for  this  list.  Perhajis  the  chief  i)oint  of  ditTerence  from 
other  lists  is  the  greater  attention  jxiid  to  terms  and 
abbreviations  frecjuenth' used  in  current  catalogues  ot 
second-hand  booksellers  but  which,  as  the\-  describe 
peculiarities  of  indi\idual  cojiies,  are  seldom  foimd  in 
more  formal  bibliographies.  Arbitrar\  sxnibois  iiM-d 
onl>-  in  particular  works  are  usuall\-  c>x])laini-d  in  the 
works  thcmsehes  and  are  therefore  st-ldom  included 
here.     The     inclusions    are    almost     i-inircb     biblio- 


maa 


graphic  rather  than  literary,  that  is,  confined  to  terms 
used  in  the  description  of  books  rather  than  in  the 
titles  proper.  The  chief  exception  is  the  inclusion 
of  a  partial  list  of  honorary  titles  likely  to  be  met 
in  author  entries.  Many  terms  have  been  included 
which  are  almost  certain  to  be  superfluous  for  the 
expert  bibliographer  but,  as  the  expert  seldom  ought 
to  need  an  elementary  list  to  aid  him,  the  needs  of 
beginners  have  been  given  first  consideration. 

It  is  perhaps  unnecessary  to  state  that  this  is  a 
list  of  terms  in  actual  use,  good,  bad  and  indifTerent, 
and  not  a  code  of  forms  recommended  for  use  in 
catalogues  and  bibliographies.  Some  unusual  terms 
used  in  descriptions  of  manuscripts  and  incunabula 
have  been  omitted.  For  these,  Cappelli's  Dizionario 
de  abbreviature,  Chassant's  Dictionnaire  des  abreviations 
and  Prou's  Manuel  de  paleographie  latine  et  francaise 
{3d  ed.  Par.  1910)  should  be  consulted.  Older  spell- 
ings which  are  not  radically  different  from  present 
usages  are  not  usually  indicated.  They  can  easily  be 
found  in  good  dictionaries. 

The  lists  of  honorary  titles  and  of  places  of  publi- 
cation are  confessedly  incomplete.  For  such  abbre- 
viations, titles  and  place  names  as  are  omitted,  consult 
the  authorities  cited  at  the  head  of  each  of  these  two 
sections. 

Special  thanks  are  due  to  Mr.  A.  Hafner  of  G.  E, 
Stechert  &  Co.,  New  York,  for  current  catalogues 
from  which  many  of  the  entries  were  taken;  to  the 
Grolier  Club  and  its  librarian.  Miss  Ruth  S.  Grannis, 
for  access  to  bibliographic  works  in  the  club  library; 
to  Mr.  A.  J.  F.  van  Laer,  Archivist,  New  York  State 
Library,  for  corrections  and  additions  in  the  Dutch, 
French  and  Italian  sections;  to  Miss  Gudrun  Holth 

vi 


of  the  New  York  State  Library  School  for  similar  help 
in  the  Swedish  and  Danish-Xorwegian  sections;  to 
Mr.  John  T.  F"itzpatrick  of  the  Legislati\e  Reference 
Section  of  the  New  York  State  Librars'  for  correcting 
the  proof  of  the  Spanish  section;  to  Mr.  Adam  J. 
Strohm  of  the  Detroit  Public  Library  for  correcting 
that  of  the  Swedish  section  and  to  Miss  Edna  NL 
Sanderson  of  the  New  York  State  Library  School  for 
correcting  proof.  Whatever  accurac\-  or  usefulness 
the  list  may  possess  is  in  large  part  due  to  their 
assistance.

NOTE    TO    THE    REVISED    EDITION 

In  the  present  revision  a  number  of  errors  which  crept  into 
the  final  proofs,  in  spite  of  repeated  readings  by  several  com- 
petent collaborators  thoroughly  familiar  with  the  languages 
represented,  have  been  corrected.  Several  librarians  and  book- 
sellers hav^e  given  further  aid  In  the  revision.  Among  them 
special  mention  is  due  to  Mr.  Alfred  Hafner  and  the  stafif  of 
G.  E.  Stechert  &  Co.,  and  to  Mr.  Moth  and  Miss  Plummer  of  the 
New  York  Public  Library.  .-Mthough  an  honest  attempt  at 
accuracy  has  been  made  it  is  not  probable  that  all  old  errors  have 
been  detected  or  all  new  ones  avoided.  It  is  hoped  that  such 
as  do  remain  may  not  prove  misleading,  however  much  they 
may  ve.\  the  soul  of  the  fastidious  bibliographer. 

Several  considerations,  among  them  the  expense  of  biblio- 
graphic publications,  have  prevented  any  considerable  changes 
in  content  or  scope.  This  is  still  a  tentative  preliminary  list 
based,  both  as  to  inclusion  and  exclusion,  on  observation  of  the 
difficulties  most  frequently  met  in  the  use  of  ordinary  trade 
bibliographies.  It  can,  consequently,  claim  neither  well-balanced 
proportion,  entire  consistency  nor  completeness. 

.A  very  considerable  number  of  other  abbreviations  and  terms, 
less  common  but  in  frequent  use,  has  been  collected,  and  librari- 
ans and  booksellers  are  invited  to  contribute  (with  definite  citations 
of  authority  or  source)  any  unusual  ones  with  which  they  may 
meet,  for  inclusion  in  a  probable  supplementary  list.  Even  with 
the  greatest  amount  of  competent  assistance  the  difficulties  in- 
herent in  the  compilation  of  a  list  like  this  are  great;  without 
such  assistance  any  satisfactory  compilation  is  practically  out 
of  the  question.
